US approves $1.5 billions in aid to Mubarak’s regime
From the World Tribune:
Congress has approved $1.5 billion in U.S. military and civilian aid to Egypt for fiscal 2009, which begins in October. The figure marked a 12 percent reduction from U.S. aid to Egypt in 2008, when Cairo received $1.71 billion.
Congressional sources said the U.S. military aid would be dependent on improvements in Egyptian security cooperation with Israel as well as Cairo’s human rights record.
Holy Cow
Mubarak should be neither criticized nor insulted, coz “his name is holy, mentioned in the Quran and Prophet’s sayings,” says the NDP lawyer.
